Nerve stimulation and physical therapy for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a gentle electrical current (tsDCS) applied to the back of the head, along with physical therapy, can help improve movement and function in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury that happened more than a year ago.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed by a neurologist with an incomplete spinal cord injury.
- It has been more than 12 months since your injury.
- You do not have any other current neurological conditions.
- You do not have any reason that would make the nerve stimulation unsafe (like metal in the head, a pacemaker, or a history of seizures).

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can improve your ability to exercise. It is for people who have had a spinal cord injury for at least a year and are medically stable.
This trial tests if combining electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with personalized physical therapy can help improve leg movement in people with spinal cord injury. It may be an option if you have a stable injury between the upper back and lower back and can commit to frequent therapy sessions.
This trial tests if a smart spinal cord stimulation device can improve leg movement in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The device adjusts stimulation in real time to help you walk better.
This trial tests whether stimulating the brain and spinal cord together can help people recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury. It also includes a healthy control group for comparison.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the back of the head and spine can improve walking and movement for people who have had a stroke more than six months ago.
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
